Now, The Hard Tackle believes, that FC Goa have turned towards the Italian Peninsula, to look for possible tie-ups as their club representatives were seen in the beautiful city of Milan.

Milan which plays hosts to two Italian Powerhouses, Ac Milan and Inter Milan, can be the next possible destination for the club’s international tie-ups.

Both Inter Milan and AC Milan are supposed to be in talks with the club, with Inter edging their arch-rivals, in securing a link-up. However, the link-up might also be just academy based.

The Hard Tackle, also believes that a ‘player’ may also be on the cards, who is Italian and still young, with the name still eluding. FC Goa, have also agreed a tour to Dubai, where they will play against some of the country’s elite.
